Friday - there were 15 boats in the bay. Rob called the hotels so that Johnson's and Aane's could stay at Maries in Roadtown instead of the famous five-star Island Beachcomber. We fixed breakfasts and went down to wait for our snorkel trip with Jost Van Dyke Scuba. While we waited we talked to Nadine and watched rays around the dock. The boat came late and picked us up. The captain was Melvin George who is the son of Ceto. He is also the limbo champ of the islands. The scuba expert and host was Harvey from England. He had worked in Thailand and Bermuda before coming here with his girl friend. We fought a strong wind and swells to go up to Monkey point at Guana Island. The snorkeling was excellent and included a school of about 25-30 tarpons. The area also had schools of tang. We all considered it the best snorkeling that we had had all week. From there we went to the Loos' Mongoose for lunch. They remembered the picture of Coach and the Cooks that had been on their wall but had disappeared. We did a little shopping and the motored to Great Thatch. We snorkeled for a half hour and saw a huge lobster. After filling the boat with gas, we headed back to Sandy Ground. When we returned, we fixed supper of left-over’s. Once we had finished everyone spent the rest of the evening packing, talking or reading.
